About this property

Bright & Beachy - Steps to the water!

Light, bright, beachy and welcoming! A slice of old Florida just steps away from private beach access. Nestled behind the dunes is this hidden gem and slice of paradise. 2nd Fl unit with all the comforts of home, and recently updated with new paint, furniture, flooring, and ceiling fans. Spend your days at the #1 beach in the US or explore all there is to do in Siesta Key Village, Sarasota, St. Armand’s Circle, Lido key and Longboat Key.

Beach chairs are provided for our guests at the beach - Umbrellas, beach towels, beach wagon and cooler are in the unit. The community has a pool, shuffleboard and a Laundromat (located on ground floor). High speed internet, cable TV and smart TVs in all of the rooms. There is a charcoal grill located out front of the bldg, as well as common area table/umbrella space for hanging out. Full kitchen including a dishwasher and microwave for those nights you want to stay in, Keurig, as well as drip coffee makers (byo Kcups), and sheets and bath towels will be provided to our guests.

There are 2 bedrooms, the first with a king bed, and the second with a queen and single bed.

There is parking in front of the unit, but you can get around the Key using the Free Trolley system that runs from from 9:00 a.m til 10:00 p.m every 15 minutes. There are other free methods of transportation too that you can contact for pick-up (tips appreciated). And of course, Uber is always an option. Our unit is about 1.5 miles from the north Village and about 1 mile from the South Village. Very central location.

Charming condo just a few steps from the beach

This condo was charmingly decorated and very close to the beach. We appreciate how much the owners thought of everything in the kitchen, bathroom, and beach toys.

Beautiful Condo

The Bright and Beachy Condo was well decorated and had everything you needed for vacation. Having a beach wagon, cooler, 2 umbrellas, chairs, and beach towels were essential items that the owners provided. Also, the helpful hints book was a great resource that the was provided that we used quite often for transportation and other recommendations. Communication was excellent! Unfortunately, not by any fault of the owners this area was hit very hard by the hurricanes and will take time to recover. There is lots of construction and loud noise happening all around the immediate area and under the unit. Once you get to the beach the view is beautiful and the sand is perfect! I hope the township helps this beautiful area recover quickly. I hope to return to the area in a few years with my family to explore some more.

I visited for 3 weeks in late Feb early march 2025. The location was great, basically on the beach. The unit was perfect; clean, nicely decorated and stocked with everything you possibly need. Communication with the host was just right. Above and beyond my expectations.

Great location, comfortable for a family of 5

Our family of 5 (kids ages 3, 8, and 11) loved staying at this condo and can't wait to go back! The space was a perfect size for us to be comfortable, and the location was great for walking to the beach. The owners responded quickly and many amenities were provided. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for family of 4

Our visit (10th time to Siesta Key, but first at this location) was fantastic! Perfect location on Crescent Beach and just simply relaxing. The Condo (FINNS) is really nice! Everything from the couches to the beds were actually more comfortable than many high end hotels. The kitchen has everything you need to cook for a family of 4. Finally, the “beachy” decor coupled with beautiful Christmas touches made for a perfect Holiday!

Finn’s was fabulous! Excellent Communication made for a smooth check-in. The condo was clean and cozy with comfy beds. It was well stocked with kitchen necessities, beach supplies, and games. Finn’s is beautifully decorated with cheerful beach decor. There was a thoughtful binder of information and recommendations for transportation, activities and restaurants. Highly recommend!

Siesta Key vacation.

Everything is Ok. Good location. But the condo outside is outdated. Laundry room is dirty with bugs that we can not use. Many construction around the building, Sewer smell out side and sometimes you can feel that smell inside the condo for a second. Overall , we enjoy the staying but not 100% for some small inconvenient things.

Beautiful Beach Escape

We had a great 4 night stay here and would definitely come back again. The place was clean and nicely decorated. It had all the amenities needed to have a fun and relaxing day at the beach. We did encounter an issue with the AC, however, Maureen addressed it as quickly as possible and was very pleasant in resolving the issue.

Amazing Stay

The property was exactly as described and pictured. My daughter and I rented the property for a girls trip and it was everything we hoped for. The property was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Location was ideal for a quick walk to the beach or a short trolley ride to the Villages. Highly recommend and will be sure to re-rent in the future.

This guy place was very clean. When they say they are equipped with everything needed for the beach they mean it. There were plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, a cooler to use as well. Everything was in great shape for a lovely day on the beach. The host communicated very quickly when I had questions. We enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely book again. Kitchen was very well stocked as well.

clean & spacious, very close to everything

I really enjoyed staying here with my three teen kids (17, 15, 13). The space was clean, well decorated and well equipped. The beds are really comfortable. Beach access is very easy and the beach is gorgeous. The pool area is very nice. The community is quiet. It is within a ten minute walk from Pickleball courts (which we enjoyed playing against the locals). It is a bit far from downtown, but there are shuttles that run up and down the strip, making it a breeze to get into town. I could not recommend this place more highly!

About the host

Hosted by Maureen & David Thomas

Host profile image
David and I are empty-nesters who love South Florida and everything it has to offer for both living and vacationing. We feel very fortunate to have purchased this slice of paradise and have worked hard to make it homey, beachy and comfortable for all of our guests. We are very excited to share everything special about Siesta Key with each and every one of you.

We have lovingly named our unit "Finns", as it is both a nod to ocean and marine life, but also a remembrance of our beloved 3-legged Golden Retriever "Finnigan" whom we lost this past year.

When we are not working, David and I can be found spending time with family, boating or beaching. We live just 20 mins down the road and have 3 grown children and one beautiful mutt named Sasha. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property due to its proximity to the beach/water and because we saw its potential. Its a piece of old FL history and we wanted to give it new life. After working hard on updates (paint, flooring, furniture, etc) we feel like its the perfect place to come back to after a day at the beach.

What makes this property unique

This property gives our guests direct private beach access (without having to cross busy streets), and without the high rental prices that other beach-front communities charge. Its located exactly in the middle of the key and has great access to both North Village, South Village and Turtle Beach.
